The Maruti Dzire and Swift have always been the stalwarts of their segments and over the years, they have been very crucial cars for Maruti in India. The Dzire’s image was initially of being an elongated version of the Swift hatchback, but Maruti has seemed to change that image as the years went by and especially with this new-gen Dzire. However, not everything has changed as the two still seem to share plenty of similarities!
To give you a clear and detailed picture of what’s similar and different between the two, we have detailed their specifications in this report. Read on as we provide a head-to-head comparison of the 2024 Dzire with the new Swift:

The start price of the Swift undercuts that of the Dzire by Rs 30,000, while the difference between their top-spec variants is a significant amount of Rs 55,000. What does the Dzire offer extra for the premium? Lets find out:

The 2024 Dzire is relatively longer and stands slightly taller than the new Swift. However, their wheelbase and width are exactly the same. Where the Dzire excels over the Swift is its larger boot space, which makes it a more practical option.
Do note that the boot space figures are for the petrol variants and Maruti has not mentioned the numbers for the CNG variants.
Head over to this story to take a look at their design differences.

The new Dzire and Swift share the same powertrain options which includes the new 1.2-litre petrol engine. The Swift’s mileage figures are marginally better with the petrol, but it is the Dzire’s CNG kit which offers the greater efficiency. On paper, there is nothing to separate the two. However, we will be bringing a comparison of their real-world performance, so stay tuned for that!
The Swift being a hatchback competes with cars like the Citroen C3, Tata Tiago and Hyundai Grand i10. The Dzire rivals entry-level sedans like the Honda Amaze, Tata Tigor and Hyundai Aura.
Out of the two, which one would you pick? Let us know in the comments section.
